SP doubts Rahul`s ability to lead the country

Kolkata: Attacking Rahul Gandhi, Samajwadi Party Wednesday said he has shown little to prove that he can lead politically and the country would be safe in his hands.

"Since the last one and half to two years, the country has faced several challenges, so many issues have come up, but I have not heard any serious opinion on these from him (Rahul Gandhi)," SP general secretary Mohan Singh said at a press conference here.

"So, how can I say that the future of the country will remain safe in the hands of Rahul Gandhi?" he said when asked on the role he would like for the Gandhi family scion.

"Because he comes from such a big family, there is a feeling that Rahul Gandhi can tackle the issues facing the country," he said.

"But if you ask me, I have not seen anything so far to suggest that," Singh said.
